The workshop was a significant step forward by Government of Karnataka and the private sector companies towards strengthening market linkages for the project areas covering Drip Irrigation, and sustain the area as a world-class horticultural and agricultural centre of international repute. In addition to participating in the MoU signing ceremony, the workshop will also help private sector managers to closely interact with the Government and obtain a superior understanding of the value-add accrued to their firms from its collaboration with the farmers associated with the Drip Irrigation Projects, and benefits because of the improved agro-economics of the project area.

Sannam S4 was actively involved in coordinating with the companies, arranging the workshop and successful in bringing together all the 6 companies under one roof for signing the MoU in the presence of the Karnataka Government officials and making this event a grand success.

This successful MoU signing has taken this project to the next level of the Mega Alliance in September 2017.
